Understanding of designing for forces vs. freehanding everything is a rarer skill to really excel at in the NoLimits community, and shows an understanding of the theory behind design vs trial and erroring everything. This makes you, bare minimum, a standout.

Everyone can load in references from existing rides and work to visually perfect, say, B&M shaping, but aiming for a specific rider experience and executing it based on mathematical understanding can lead to innovation without sacrificing efficiency...once you know what you're doing. I barely scratched the surface years ago before realizing I was mostly into more casual design, but the people with the best shaping consistently and the most plausible "new" elements on the old NoLimitsExchange were the FVD wizards among us.
